Orion School @ Grace UMC: Free Soccer Clinics for Special Needs Kids

The Orion School is sponsoring a free drop-in Soccer Saturday clinics for children ages 5-13 who need a more supportive program for success. Typical participants have neurobehavioral conditions including ADHD, Asperger's and anxiety. The goal is to offer an opportunity for a low stress alternative to traditional soccer leagues and self confidence building through participation in a recreational sport. The mornings also give parents a chance to just relax and connect with other supportive families. At least one adult needs to stay and siblings are welcome to join the fun. Healthy snacks are a welcome addition! The coaches for Soccer Saturdays are educators with a lifetime of experience playing and coaching soccer and team sports. The last morning has an awards ceremony for all participants regardless of how many mornings attended. DATES are  April, 14th, 21st, 28th and May 5th. TIME is from 11:00-12:15 each morning. LOCATION is at 458 Ponce de Leon Ave. Atlanta, GA 30308...look for the soccer goals. Please call 404-551-2574 with any additional questions
